I think this is more of a problem of shooting too many does.
Simple............
After 34 years of hunting in PA I am for the 2nd time going out of state during the first week in November to hunt the RUT elsewhere. Makes me sick to think at how it used to be and I can't see a single tiny difference in our forest lands other than there are just no deer now.
Great. We kill every deer to save the forests, now the deer are gone and the forests look the same.
12 year experiment failed.......There is still time left to fix it!!!!!!!!!
